How can i set attributes of the floating window. I'd like to set the WindowStyle to 'none' and the AllowsTransparency to "True".

Thanks.

Sean,

Sorry but right now there isn't a way to apply those settings. What were you trying to accomplish by doing those?

I wanted the floating window to have a slick rounded-corner window chrome without a title bar.

(And thanks for the quick reply!)

Sean,

We'll add a TODO item to possibly add a Style property that would be applied to the rafting windows. Right now you can't just create a blanket Style and put it in the resources for them since the RaftingWindow class is internal to our assembly.

Sean,

Actually what we ended up doing was adding a protected virtual CreateRaftingWindow method to DockSite. You can call the base method, see if the return value is a Window, and if so, set the properties you mentioned. This will be in the next maintenance release. Sound good?

Sounds good. Is that in the 4.5.0484?

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 1 month ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
